Important Notice
Added 2022-03-19 15:06:17 +0000 UTCIt is with much sadness that we have to make this unfortunate report to you all.
The Pumpt has been developed with iOScythe in charge of design and Danny Akhara in charge of programming.
However, the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine has made it difficult for Danny to continue his activities due to the situation in the area where he lives and the risk of information control. This makes it impossible to know when the next update will be available.
It could be six months away... or a year... or in the worst case, development could be halted.
After following the recent news, I was very concerned about what decision to make, but since it is clear that the work will not progress for at least several months, I thought I should report it to avoid causing further disadvantages to supporters.
Conclusion
"We suggest you cancel our Patreon as we will not be able to update the game for the foreseeable future."
I don't even know if we can restart... it's a high risk, low return.
For my part, I am very frustrated and would like to struggle with this situation. I am not sure if I should wait until the situation is over…, find a new programmer…, or bring my creations to you in a new form... I am not sure which direction to take yet.
This form will not be closed yet but will be kept alive.
Regarding rewards, we will be making changes the day after this text.
No refunds are planned due to the cost of the reference books, software, and fees that were purchased to develop this game. Thank you for your understanding.
The game will remain available for download on Itch.io.
To all of you who are looking forward to the game, I am really sorry.

Oh wow. It feels like things have slowed down a bit here since i left awhile ago. So... I remade my account a few times, came back properly and it feels a bit quiet here for the last few months. Are you doing ok? Just Checking if you are fine anyways and how things are going for you. Anyways keep your chin up and keep moving forward, you are doing very well with your art!

2022-03-22 07:29:27 +0000 UTCI thank you for saying that. To be honest, I'm in a state of release right now, but once I get settled, I'd like to add more Inflation art that is exclusive to this place.

2022-03-19 17:39:07 +0000 UTCI will keep my patreon support active, in hopes of future projects. At least if and when you can get your feet back under you, you'll have some funds to start up whatever you come up with. Good luck to all of you and I hope Danny stays safe.

2022-03-19 16:52:16 +0000 UTCOh wow, that really sucks :( It's very understandable and I am very sorry to hear about those news for both of you! Thank you for your continued work on this project though. It's been really fun following its progress and playing your game! :) I am sure, down the line, new opportunities will be created to continue or create new projects like this for both of you!

2022-03-19 15:57:38 +0000 UTCVery bad situation all around. I for my part wouldn't mind keeping my support up for the art and stuff alone, and I think I'll keep doing so as long as this patreon is still active.
